Nebrasketball 2025 Portal Szn + Roster Ins/Outs

[Dell Husker]

Sandfort & school have something ready to go by 10am today. If it doesn't get announced, I'd be shocked if they didn't wait until Monday (I'd prefer today)

Can you imagine having Freeman and Dix on the same team? They will have to be so good next year

At least we're getting the 3rd best player from that roster with a couple years left. Fran can't coach he's a psycho.

Can you imagine having Freeman, Dix, and both Sanfort boys and not making the dance?

Harding, their PG, was also solid

It was clearly time for Fran to move on.

Not sure if this is true or not (from a KU board), but found it interesting, especially regarding Pickle Smoochers, if the revenue sharing thing doesn't pass on Monday...

Alright, I just had an interesting lunch with a group that included a few people who are high up in the Athletic Department and WEF; and it gave me some insight into what is happening now..

- From the inception of the NIL, we've enjoyed a sizeable advantage over most every other program in the country because it was Donor vs Donor in raising NIL funds. Our donors flat out supported our NIL program better than any other program. We basically could have gotten anyone we wanted over that time frame- which makes Bill's addiction to Harris & the Gang all the more difficult to swallow (because we could have gotten almost literally anyone else if we would have simply tried..).

- That has changed with the expected revenue sharing model going forward. With the judgement that is expected to be passed on Monday (and go into effect in July), Athletic Departments can distribute up to $22M to all Student Athletes as they see fit. What's funny is that programs like Auburn and Pickle Smoochers are already spending that money as though the rule has already gone into effect, when there are still open objections that could at the very least hold this up for a year through another appeal. Watch how fast Auburn and Pickle Smoochers lose their portal class if this doesn't get passed on Monday.. But that's the point, the reason why the playing field has been leveled is because of the revenue sharing model. It's not that Auburn or Pickle Smoochers (for example) all of a sudden have newfound donors- it's that they have AD revenue to spend. And spending they are!

- Our Athletic Department will put a large percentage of that $22M towards MBB. More than most other power programs. We'll also still have our donor base-NIL program to go along with our brand that brings in "true NIL" opportunities ("true NIL" is a term that might be huge down the line as they try to regulate actual NIL deals from donor-led NIL deals). Point being, we are now and will remain at or near the top of NIL going forward.

- Bill Self is intentionally being patient; but it is costing us prospects in this window. There is a blitz on front-end funding thanks to revenue sharing, and there will be an expected market correction. The prevailing thought is that teams are overpaying players in this window, and that prices will get corrected in this next window (that will start on Monday after the ruling). Self is playing hard ball on player value, and he is willing to wait for later entrants and other options (like International players). The end result is that we have lost out on every player of interest through this window, but Self & Co are betting on the come. It's a dangerous game (IMO), but there will be so many options for us going forward that have yet to come into the light. One person at the lunch said something about us playing hard ball on values: The staff learned their lessons in that they'd rather have hungry dogs than fat cats.

- A couple of interesting aspects on the revenue sharing model going forward: It's just a matter of time before there is a T9 lawsuit regarding revenue distributions that could theoretically end up with every single Student-Athlete getting the exact same distribution. The Big East may seem like they are at an advantage not paying for football (among other programs that power conferences have, and mid-major's do not) but the Big East's revenue distributions were $3.7M per conference member in 2024 through all revenue streams. The B12 was $34M per school in 2024. The power conferences (not just the P2) clear that $22M in revenue distributions with plenty left over for operating expenses. etc. Which means that the Big East has to have supplemental support from the University itself or from donors to make up for that wiiiiide gap in revenue distributions.

If they ever remove the cap and go to % revenue distributions, then we are either in the P2, or we are a mid-major.

I don’t mean to take this entire great post and pick at one piece, but I suppose that’s what I am going to do. 😂

The point about T9 is a bit off. I don’t believe that is a concern at this point or will be.

Would be on my personal wishlist, but I’m sure he’ll end up a Jay, because of course

I've been drinking, and was reading this, and all the we, we'll, and we've is about Kansas right? I was thinking NU, but it didn't add up.
